Big tax bill doubles down on a 2017 export subsidy that mostly went to Big Tech. No evidence that it brought back jobs. Now it's become an even more generous windfall that rewards a broader set of corporations for something they might do anyway, as I told @RichardRubinDC.
New from me today: US exporters -- particularly those with significant research expenses and domestic factories -- scored a big win in the tax law. Link below.

1. Trump's tax cuts overwhelmingly help the rich 2. His spending cuts are targeted at the poor 3. Tariffs cost the poor a larger share of their income Roll these three regressive policies together and you get the largest redistribution from poor to rich in American history.

There are a lot of ways that our tax code incentivizes profit shifting and offshoring, but the so-called "round-tripping" loophole is one of the most egregious Grateful to Ranking Member @RonWyden and his colleagues for introducing this commonsense reform https://t.co/LkNfdIaeXV
